Chapter 218: Chanting and preaching

For two days, Berdan was in the Tibetan Hall of the White Horse Temple, where he carefully translated the scriptures. Because he didn't know Chinese characters, he couldn't help, so he had to arrange things to pass the time by himself. Early in the morning, he wandered around the temple alone.

He walked east and west to a small courtyard, and saw a little monk cleaning the courtyard. Kairuote was very curious about this small courtyard and wanted to enter to find out, but was stopped by the little monk with a broom: "Donor, please stay!" This is not a place for idlers. ”

"I'm not an idler, so I can just go in." Kai Ruote deliberately teased the little monk, and then took advantage of the little monk's momentary shock and dodged to enter the door.

The little monk came back to his senses in an instant, reacted quickly, and put a broom in front of Kai Ruote, and said angrily: "I said I couldn't enter, but you broke in, and your donor didn't even understand any rules." ”

Seeing that this little monk seemed to have good kung fu, Kai Ruote was energetic, he "swished", and the limit of light skills was exerted, and the figure disappeared. I thought that I could get rid of the little monk and enter the courtyard this time, but unexpectedly, the little monk chased after him and scolded in his mouth: "You don't eat and drink when you toast." Dare to break in and eat me with a broom! ”

As he spoke, he swept his broom hard at Kairoth. Kerote flashed by, and the broom didn't even touch the edge. The little monk then swept over several brooms in a row, with the same result. This made the little monk anxious, dropped the broom, and hit several fast and powerful straight punches and hooks in a row, and the punches were clear-eyed, and while defending with his hands, Kai Ruote asked: "Little monk, where did you learn your boxing skills?" ”

"You know it's amazing, don't you get out yet." As the little monk spoke, he threw another series of straight punches.

"You are practicing the "Miscellaneous Heart Method", and you are using Bell Boxing." Karuo is famous.

The little monk was not modest: "If you want to follow my way, I won't tell you." Saying that, his punch came out faster, but it didn't have the strength, and it touched Kairoth's body like a tickle. Kairote only defended and did not attack, and the two of them performed as if they were on the lawn of the courtyard.

"Huineng stop!" Just when Kairote was in full swing, the host Yanshou appeared in front of them, raised his hand to greet the two fighters, and shouted in a hearty voice, "Stop! ”

The little monk obediently stopped his movements and saluted his master.

The host Yanshou looked at Huineng, who was sweating, pointed at Kai Ruote and said, "Do you know who he is?" ”

Huineng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"He's a great immortal, a good friend of the fairy girl!" The host Yanshou shook his head helplessly, and said to the little monk, "Why don't you go and make amends to Daxian?" ”

The little monk scratched his head, and obediently was about to step forward to make amends to Kai Ruote, but he stopped him: "Those who don't know are not guilty." He stepped forward and touched the little monk's head, "This little guy has a good foundation in martial arts, and he is a good seedling for practicing martial arts." ”

"Thanks to the praise of the Great Immortal, Hui Neng, don't you hurry up and worship the Great Immortal as a teacher." The host took the opportunity to intercede for the little monk, "Huineng's body is indeed a good material for martial arts, you can accept this apprentice, he can carry forward the kung fu of heaven." ”

When Huineng heard what the host said, he hurriedly knelt in front of Kairuot and kowtowed to the teacher: "Huineng worships the great immortal as a teacher, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Kai Ruote had never accepted an apprentice, and he couldn't find a excuse because of his stupid mouth, so he helped Huineng up with both hands and nodded in agreement. Huineng jumped up happily and shouted "master" vigorously, Kai Ruote only then thought that as a master, he had to say a few words, and the host Yanshou also felt that the apprentice was not serious enough, so they entered the living room of the host in the depths of the small courtyard together, and the host and Kai Ruote sat on the chair.

Huineng knelt down in front of Kai Ruote again, and Kai Ruote said in the tone of a master: "If you want to be my apprentice, you must do three things: perseverance, concentration, and understanding. First, if you want to practice superior kung fu, you must have perseverance and perseverance, and you can't give up halfway. Secondly, the practice of internal strength pays attention to peace of mind, no distractions, concentration, and concentration; Third, it is to introspect and reflect, and conscientiously summarize and review the daily practice, so that we can continue to make progress. Can you do these three things? ”

"Yes." The little monk nodded in agreement.

Kairuote also warned Huineng: "You worship me as a teacher, don't say it to the public, let me know, you can't be an apprentice." Remember. In addition to practicing, you can do whatever you have to do in the temple, just like before. ”

The little monk nodded and said, "Don't worry, master, I will never say it to the outside world." ”

Kai Ruote said: "There is another thing you must remember, don't think that your martial arts are high, and fight fiercely everywhere. ”

"Yes. Remember the teachings of the master. The little monk agreed very simply.

The apprenticeship ceremony simply ended.

The presiding officer Yanshou designated them a secluded place behind the meditation room for their master and apprentice to practice.

Berdan's chanting and preaching took place in the Mahavira Hall and lasted only half a day in the afternoon. Many pilgrims come from different parts of the country a few days in advance, wanting to see the fairy girl and listen to the teachings of the Bodhisattva. Their arrival overcrowded the inns in the entire Luoyang City, and the White Horse Temple has become a crowded and lively place.

Berdan's black and shiny hair was combed into a dragon bun, his eyes were like double stars, his eyebrows were like small moons, he sat on the mighty red lotus, and the light and flying embroidery ribbon rose with the wind, and he was shrouded in auspicious light. Holding a bottle of nectar in one hand and a willow branch in the other, she floated from the air and sat down on a platform where she chanted and preached, shocking the listeners almost in a daze.

Berdan, who was sitting on the red lotus, attracted the attention of the people present with his demure and dignified temperament, making the entire hall suddenly quiet. Then the clean and crisp voice of the fairy girl began to echo in the main hall, and Kai Ruote, who was hiding in the far corner of the main hall and watching, also felt a powerful aura, and he thought to himself: [This is the aura that can only be found in the highest realm reached by superior internal strength. 】

Berdan began her sermon by saying, "What is a Buddha? It means wisdom, enlightenment. The word Buddha has a body and is useful. It is wisdom in its ontology, and enlightenment in its function. ”

Monks, princes and nobles, pilgrims and visitors watched the Bodhisattva's every move on the podium almost with full attention, listening attentively to her lectures.

"There are three kinds of wisdom." "Guanyin" continued to say in her crisp, magnetic voice, "First, all wisdom. It is to correctly understand the essence of the universe. To put it mildly, it is to have a proper understanding of the land under our feet. This wisdom is called all wisdom in Buddhism; Second, the Tao is wise. Species refers to a variety of phenomena, phenomena between the universe, the variety is immeasurable, how do these many phenomena come about? Where do you come from? What is the phenomenon and process? What happened later? The wisdom that can correctly understand all things in the universe is called the wisdom of the Tao; Third, all kinds of wisdom. It is the truth of life in the universe, which is completely clear, without the slightest confusion or the slightest error, and this wisdom is all kinds of wisdom. A person who possesses these three types of wisdom is a Homo sapiens. Those who surpass Homo sapiens are called Homo sapiens. ”

"Guanyin" used various examples to illustrate her views on the Buddha and the Dharma, which made those present suddenly understand that the Dharma is not as profound and difficult to understand as people think. "Guanyin" tells everyone: "When the two words Buddhism are connected, it means endless wisdom and enlightenment, and the realization of all things and all the laws of life in the universe." The Dharma is boundless, it is immeasurable. There is no limit to the objects of perception, and there is no limit to the wisdom of perception. This immeasurable and boundless awareness, you must remember, is your own instinct. ”

A Buddhist chanting and preaching class actually made the people present listen to it fascinated, and for a few hours, no one was willing to leave halfway, which shows that the attraction of "Guanyin" is huge.
